Altered the way the rebuild script handled kernels and checksums. #108
Conversation
Working from my past local improvements to ubuntu-builder, I've ported them to customizer, as I prefer python. https://github.com/kamilion/kamikazi-deploy/blob/master/resources/buildscripts/Build.patched-for-xen Fixes in this commit: If EFI is determined to be in use, vmlinuz will be hardlinked to vmlinuz.efi, saving a few megs on the ISO. If found, a Xen kernel will be added to the media in the correct place. Same for ipxe and memtest86+ soon? As a fix for ubuntu-mini-remix's integrity check, a SHA256SUMS file will be regenerated if found. This should shore up UMR in respect to #76, outside of the memtest86+ issue, which we can fix. Compression parameters are now separated from mksquashfs, and a default blocksize of ~1MB is applied. Editing this can be added to the GUI later, for now, xz's branch-call-jump filters were enabled for x86 code. In addition, Many comments were added to clarify sections of the ISO rebuild code.

Incidentally, Everything is working for wily/15.10 when I try to rebuild Lubuntu from the beta1 amd64 image. Simply download lubuntu-15.10-beta1-desktop-amd64.iso from wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/kamilion/kamikazi-deploy/master/resources/buildscripts/wily/autobuild.customizer.hook.shto get the autobuild hook. Customizer will take it from there. The hardlinked EFI kernel, -Xbcj, & blocksize change brings me from 732MB to 654MB, with improved decompression times due to the truncated x64 branchs, calls, and jumps. If the calls can't be truncated, xz simply skips them. |
Will also include EFI copies of ipxe and xen if found, but editing /isolinux/txt.cfg or /boot/grub/grub.cfg & /boot/grub/loopback.cfg is up to you.

@kamilion Meanwhile, you can still do minor fixes before the merging. Also, if there's any response from other contributors, feel free to leave comment below. |

Ah, now only I realized why See the screenshot in this comment of issue #76, that shows the contents of UMR 12.04 and 14.04 images. The newer UMR 14.04 contains @kamilion And since you have tested on 64-bit, plus I have also tested (the changes made to codes in |
